Not Happy Not Sad Just a Broke Human Being

Hello, dearest hivers, this is J once again. sharing with you another life story. Adulting is hard—more so than when I was still a student. And now that I have moved out and found a job, It is my turn to support my needs and wants. And I can say it is hard because the inflation rate here in the Philippines is increasing.

The struggle starts when I only have 50 pesos in my wallet to go home. After I got home, I noticed I'd already run out of biscuits. I want to live in a room where there's food to open immediately when I get hungry. I always buy food if I have a chance to go to the market, and my new place is just around the corner. Notice that I ran out of food stocks. And when I see empty plastic, it really makes me sad and irritated. Pay Day is still far away, so I noticed I had 1,000 in cash, so I went to the nearest store to cash it out. Afterwards. I noticed that I don't have any fabric conditioner anymore, and I need to use fabric conditioner every time I wash my clothes.

I decide to go to the nearest market in my place, which is the metro. The first thing I bought was the biscuits and pancit canton, which are my go-to foods because they are easy to prepare.

I also include chips in my cart. The next thing I bought was fabric conditioner and dishwashing soap; afterward, I also included powdered clothes soap and body soap.

I'm scared it would reach the limit of 500 pesos, but since I wanted milk for myself to drink early in the morning because of my shift and 6:00 am, I ran out of money, so I only bought 2 of them.

I did calculate everything I put in my basket, and if I'm not sure about the price, I will proceed to the scanner. Going to the counter to pay 400 pesos for everything.

I am glad I have a 100 peso change. Going home, my companion wanted to make a stop at 7/11 to buy drinks, which he bought cucumber lemonade, his favorite.

I saw a kitten, and I noticed she wanted to speak out meow meow, but there was no sound she could produce. Is it possible that there is a deaf cat?

I am so emotional because I know she's hungry, so what we did was go to the nearest chicken store and buy one for 20 pesos. At first, she won't eat; she's maybe shy, but when I remove the chicken from the paper plate and break it into two, she starts chewing it. After a minute, we decided to leave. He was eating and decided to go home.

I am very soft when it comes to animals. cats and dogs think, because who comes to think that it is very sad to see homeless animals striving to find food in an alley of the streets, especially the one we saw at the 7/11 since she can't speak? If I can just take her home with me, I hope someone will also feed her. I have been soft on all the kittens and dogs ever since Keshi came into our lives, and I miss him right now. A plot twist in my tearful life is where I can feel the fulfillment of happiness that time seeing her eating the food I bought. Be kind to the animals; they are also like us who strive to live.
